Chapter 698

The autumn rainy days in Hebei are not like those in the south of the Yangtze River. After only two days of falling, it turned clear and the sun shone brightly again. The sun was covered with sunshine and the green and yellow fields of Hebei were fleeing. These were infantrymen, and the tiger and leopard cavalry and the cavalry with mounts had long left without caring about it.

One of the Wei army defeated soldiers with about thirty or forty people was running out of breath. Except for the soldiers who were the leader who were carrying swords, the rest were all spearmen trained from auxiliary soldiers. Now they had already thrown away the spears and their hands were empty.

Behind them, hundreds of Liang army cavalry were chasing. In addition to the sound of horse hooves, the shouts of shouting and persuading surrender also came one after another: "Kneel down to surrender! Those who surrender will not be killed! They will either surrender or behead!"

Some Wei soldiers who could not run fell to the ground with a thud. But the leader was still angry with the soldiers under his command: "Run quickly! If you don't run, you will definitely die if you are caught by Liang's army... Ah." Before he finished speaking, several arrows shot by the light cavalry flying feathers had already penetrated into his body. He screamed and threw them to the ground. The other two Wei soldiers beside him were also caught arrows and fell to the ground.

The shouts of Liang army cavalry in the rear continued. "Kneel on the ground to surrender! Those who surrendered will not kill..." Then, the Wei soldiers who were running and fleeing knelt down and kept gasping for breath. More than a hundred Liang army cavalry quickly chased after them, and ignored them. The war horses flew directly past the kneeling bodies and continued to pursue northwards. The Wei soldiers who knelt on the knees were the Liang army infantry who followed behind to contain them.

The fleeing tiger, leopard cavalry and Chang cavalry of the Wei army did not suffer any losses because they fled early and quickly. Deng Ai and his personal guards also rode their horses to the north, gathered many such Wei cavalry along the way, and soon nearly a thousand war cavalry gathered around Deng Ai.

They ran on the wasteland for another quarter of an hour, and suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves coming from behind. Deng Ai was shocked, why did the Liang army catch up so quickly. He turned his head and looked at it, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. It was not Liang army, but four or five hundred Wei cavalry. The general led by him was also wearing a blindfold. Who else could Xiahou Dun be if it was not the one-eyed Xiahou Dun? Deng Ai urgently ordered the cavalry team to slow down and then joined forces with Xiahou Dun. After the two met, after a sighing conversation, Deng Ai knew the reasons and details of Sima Yi's main army's defeat and the crackdown of the company.

Xiahou Dun sighed: "Now that our 250,000 troops are completely destroyed, and Yecheng is difficult to preserve. Is it because my Wei Dynasty is exhausted?"

Deng Ai replied confusedly: "No matter what, the general and the emperor are in Yecheng. Now we will rush back to Yecheng and find a way to save the Great Wei from danger. Perhaps these fleeing infantry and cavalry can still escape back to Yecheng, so we still have a glimmer of hope."

In fact, Deng Ai himself didn't believe this. Even if some of the Wei army's infantry and cavalry fled back to Yecheng, they could not defend Yecheng. Even if Yecheng could be temporarily protected, it would be meaningless. The destruction of the Wei State was almost a foregone conclusion. Xiahou Dun also knew this. The two of them stopped talking and rushed towards Yecheng with 1,500 combat cavalry.

Suddenly, the cavalry came a few tragic calls from the front. Deng Ai looked up and saw two or three tiger and leopard cavalry knights falling from the saddle. Someone shouted: "Liang's chariot is here! Everyone, disperse quickly! Disperse..."

After a few more screams, more Wei cavalry knights were penetrated by heavy arrows. Deng Ai and Xiahou Dun were shocked and looked up. Sure enough, the figures of the four Liang army longbow chariots appeared in the distance.

Deng Ai immediately ordered, "Don't panic, they will ride in chariots in three or four, and we will surround them, drive them away or kill them." After that, he grabbed his horse's belly and took the lead in rushing towards the Liang army, but his hundred guards surrounded him tightly, from the front, back and left and right, followed by nearly a thousand Wei cavalry that had dispersed. Xiahou Dun also led the other five or six hundred tiger, leopard cavalry and Chang cavalry under his command to surround these longbow chariots from both sides.

The longbow chariots were calm and continued to shoot heavy arrows quickly and steadily towards the rushing enemy cavalry. In front of Deng Ai and left and right, one after another, a rider fell down his horse. Deng Ai began to deliberately slow down the horse speed, in order not to scare the longbow chariot away and buy time for friendly troops who were surrounding both sides. Until he was only more than thirty battles away, he quickly whipped his horse and tried to approach the opponent as fast as possible.

The longbow chariots had already turned the front of the car, and now they suddenly started to move and fled to the distance. The distance between them and Deng Ai's cavalry team suddenly became farther away.

However, Deng Ai believed that Xiahou Dun could have stopped the other party at this time. At this moment, a continuous sound of arrows suddenly came from a little farther away, and two longbow chariots rushed into the sky, as many as eight or nine. But this was not finished, and more chariots gathered here one after another, and more heavy arrows shot at the Wei army were shooting.

Deng Ai's personal soldiers were soon left behind. When he was hesitating whether to stop chasing, a puff of arrows piercing armor came. His right shoulder had been shot by a heavy arrow, and the cavalry lance held in his hand fell off the horse. Deng Ai snorted and shook it three times. He finally stabilized his body in the saddle and did not fall down. However, the Wei cavalry behind him who had been gathered from the defeated army had already scattered and fled around.

Deng Ai also wanted to turn around the horse's head and try to find a gap to escape, but suddenly found himself rising up. It turned out that a Liang general grabbed his left arm from behind and picked him up out of thin air. Deng Ai's right hand seemed to be ruined, so how could he break free? In this way, he was captured by the other party. This Liang general was no one else, but Dian Qing, who was ordered to lead a chariot and ride to the rear of the Wei army to carry out the sniper mission against the Wei army.

In the distance, Xiahou Dun was taking his troops to raid the Liang army's longbow chariots, but unexpectedly, a large group of longbow chariots flashed in front of him, and a large number of Liang army light cavalry were accompanied by the longbow chariots. More than a dozen heavy arrows were also shot at Xiahou Dun and his personal soldiers. In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen Xiahou Dun's personal guards had been penetrated by heavy arrows and their bodies, and they fell off their horses.

When Xiahou Dun was surprised, he saw a black shadow flying towards him. He had no time to dodge. With a cracked bone sound, his war horse suddenly sank forward and downward, and the man pounced down from the saddle in an instant. Xiahou Dun rolled forward like a conditioned reflex and removed the force of falling off the horse. But as soon as he got up, before he could stand firm, a Liang army light cavalry rushed towards him with a slashing sabre. The cold blade was facing his neck. Just when Xiahou Dun thought he would die, a personal guard tiger and leopard cavalry rushed over and knocked the light cavalry flying feathers down with one shot, but then the tiger and leopard cavalry rider was also shot down by a long bow and heavy arrow.
